Answer:
n= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4n+5)=-7n-23
expand brackets
12n + 15 =-7n-23
collect like terms
12n + 7n= -23-15
19n= -38
dividing throughout by 19
19n/19=-38/19
n= -2
Answer:
n = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4n+5)= -7n -23
Distribute the 3,
12n + 15 = -7n -23
subtract 15 from both sides,
12n = -7n -38
add 7n to both sides,
12n + 7n = -38
simplify,
19n = -38
divide both sides by 19,
n = -2
